D-Wave Chief Scientist Explains Quantum Computing

Last month D-Wave Co-founder and Chief Scientist Eric Ladizinsky spoke to a group of researchers at Google about quantum computing. Google is a D-Wave customer, and their D-Wave Two was installed last summer at the NASA Ames Research Center. Eric was invited by Google's Director of Engineering Harmut Neven to:

"describe the basic ideas behind quantum computation , D-Wave's unique approach, and the current status and future development of D-Wave's processors. Included will be answers to some frequently asked questions about the D-Wave processors, clarifying some common misconceptions about quantum mechanics, quantum computing, and D-Wave quantum computers."
